Cannot connect iPad Pro to MacBook Pro without upgrading to DropBox Plus.

I bought a new iPad Pro and successfully uploaded all apps including DropBox and used it for several weeks.  Suddenly I'm getting the message 'To connect to this device [my iPad], try DropBox Plus.  I am not over my storage limit and DropBox works on my MacBook Pro without issue.  Help...

    You're likely at or over the device limit for a free account, which is three connected devices. You can review and remove devices linked to your account on your Security page.
